Deputy Principal Administration

The Kisumu National Polytechnic, established in 1967, stands as the oldest higher learning institution in western Kenya. Since its inception, the Polytechnic has witnessed remarkable growth in its academic offerings, catering to students from across the nation. Nestled amidst the serene lake region of Kenya, the Kisumu National Polytechnic boasts a vibrant campus within Kisumu City. Our institution is well-equipped with recreational facilities for both students and staff, fostering an environment conducive to learning and personal growth.

As the Deputy Principal in charge of Administration, Planning, and Development, I play a pivotal role in supporting the Chief Principal in the day-to-day management of the institution, adhering to the guidelines set forth by the TVET Act. In collaboration with the Human Resources department, it is our responsibility to ensure that the Polytechnic maintains a qualified and adequate workforce, capable of meeting industry standards and competing effectively in the job market.

The Kisumu National Polytechnic takes pride in its position as a market leader in TVET, continuously striving to achieve world-class standards in the provision of technical, entrepreneurial training, research, and innovation. We value our partnerships with stakeholders, recognizing their crucial role in our success. The community forms an integral part of our ecosystem, providing us with students to nurture and contributing to a secure environment that facilitates our daily operations.

In line with our corporate social responsibility initiatives, we have organized Boda-Boda business training for members of the local community, aiming to enhance their livelihoods. Our commitment to the community extends to assisting those in need, through visits and support programs.

Our office plays a central role in maintaining discipline among students and staff, fostering an open and consultative environment for all stakeholders.

In response to the Kenya Kwanza Government’s greening TVET initiative, the Kisumu National Polytechnic has actively participated, planting over sixteen thousand trees during the 2023-2024 financial year. We remain committed to expanding our greening efforts in the coming years.

I strongly encourage students who have completed their KCSE examinations in the past two years to explore the diverse range of courses offered at the Kisumu National Polytechnic. Parents are urged to support their sons and daughters in taking advantage of the Government’s new funding model to pursue their academic aspirations.

We welcome you to join the Kisumu National Polytechnic community and embark on a journey of academic excellence and personal growth.
